Solo Show & Residency Fellowship 2027

About this call

Field Projects, an artist-run space in Chelsea, New York, and In Situ Polyculture Commons, an arts residency in Southern Vermont, offer a fellowship for 2027 to an individual artist or a collaborative group of up to 4 people. It combines a 2 to 3 week residency at In Situ Polyculture near Saxtons River, Vermont, between July 1 and August 31, 2027, with a solo exhibition at Field Projects from September 9 to October 16, 2027, and a $1,500 stipend to use as the artist sees fit. The fellowship also includes a studio visit with Jacob Rhodes, preparation and installation support, and a co-hosted reception. Projects may be in any media as long as the exhibition has a strong visual art component; Field Projects looks for work that makes strong political statements, immersive installation and experimental work, and In Situ Polyculture for place-based, ecology-interested work. Jurors are Candace Jensen, Jacob Rhodes and Melissa Joseph. Five semi-finalists will be interviewed by video in late March and early April 2027, and awardees will be notified in early April.
